I would like to reiterate an old fish catching trick for all of you that have problems catching
fry or adult fish, out of a heavily planted tank - the old soda/H20 bottle trick: Take an old
plastic soda/H20 bottle and cut off the top just below the shoulder of the bottle, the cut off
part should resemble a funnel.
Then cut the funnel in a way that it will fit snugly into the bottom bottle part. Invert the funnel part back into the bottle. Next, drill a hole into the bottle part with a small drill bit (11.5mm), to let excess air out of the trap when it is in the water. Place the trap in the tank
water and let it fill. Drop some of your fish's favorite food in the trap, (live food such as
BBS or worms work best), as the movement of the bait really gets the fish's attention.
Tip: I use my wife's turkey baster to insert the bait into the trap when its in the water. You
can then place the trap on the bottom of the tank to catch bottom feeding fish or on driftwood, plants, etc., to catch midlevel feeding fish. I recommend not feeding your fish for at
least a day before any attempts of catching them.
